Front Page of Baldur, Remembering Einar Ólafsson

Front page of a historical Icelandic-language newspaper titled Baldur. The date reads Winnipeg, Manitoba, 7. desember 1905, and the issue number is visible in the top margin. The main headline in bold text reads Einar Ólafsson er dáinn. Below the headline is a black-and-white portrait of a man in formal attire, framed in an oval. The remainder of the page is filled with justified columns of text in Icelandic. The paper shows slight aging with darkened edges.
